You do realize that your comment, “The completely unrealized irony” works both ways here, right? The person making the unsubstantiated “what if”… the person mocking the person making the unsubstantiated “what if”. There is no certainty. In the case of the church worker, it is her faith compels her to address her suggestion to the faithless… just as much it is your faith that her’s is wrong that lets you join this party.
If they are a typical Christian, their theology has falsifiable claims. Unless they are some kind of Unitarian. So, it does not require faith to know they are wrong about their faith.
You appear to have a great deal of faith in your own ability to read what’s happening in another’s mind and heart. Eg… you have no idea what elements of any particular religion a person considers relevant to their memberships.
If people follow an organized religion I do assume they accept, or at least don’t outwardly reject, the tenants of that theology. So, it is functionally identical to me, if not to their own internal monologue.
So, sure I’m assuming a complex, spectrum-based identity as a binary, uniform contract. However, this is probably just a defence mechanism from living amongst the crazy ones for too long.
